Randy Romero and Tony Adamowicz are not very popular picks. Obit problems or any other reason?

Now this is a big and suprising death! RIP David Bowie

Going for Eric Lubbock.

If everybody from my list dies this year then I will win DDP 2016!

I see only 22 people on the picture. You count one person too much in the middle row.

So if there HAD been a surprising death that would have been the 'biggest' death? SC No. Death can be suprising and death can be big. There were big deaths and there were suprising deaths, but there were no suprising big deaths.

There was no surprising big death in 2015. So I choose C. Lee.

Early first hit for me too

Kissinger for sure.

She will make it to 2017!

Well the good news is that he is also the 25 point pick on my inverse deadpool so win-win. Speaking of being smug...is there an award for this sweepstake, and when do you stop cheating bastards from putting in a late entry to steal my glory? Nobody could enter after 2015. And as for award? When you visit Estonia, then let me know. But before of that - try to win.

Well, in general I find signatures interesting, but ... cmon morbidkid has gone way too far.

Me neither. I think last year the whole thing with not being able to get past 14 hits despite waiting nearly 2 months for a death was partly karma for not including Sir Nicholas Winton on the list. I would have had him at #1 on the 2015 list with Zsa Zsa second. Lee Yuan Kew should also definitely have been on last year's list. This year? There are some good picks on this year's list, but also some major omissions and some iffy picks as well. Some of these "iffy picks" are new blood, further down the list, and some of them I don't actually know that much about. So I agree with you. I don't see this year's list as being as good as last year's, but who knows, time will tell! Yes, they missed huge chances last year. Though I mostly have King Abdullah on my mind. Lee Kuan Yew right at second place of missed chances. They were both already going down in December 2014. And the list got a fluke with John Nash, so the necessary luck was there. I think this year's list still has good potential. Still too many very old people waiting for death. Joao Havelange is a lock this year, in my opinion. Zsa Zsa however might have another year, simply because I think it's now obvious that she inherited her mother's longevity genes. And her mother lived to 101 (or 102?). Zsa Zsa, Havelange, De Havilland, Graham, Wouk, Douglas, Reagan, Lynn, Castro and LaMotta have been " a lock" also for 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005... They don't live forever, but to believe that (all/most) of them will die in 2016 is very optimistic. Maybe one or two of them will die. Only dog knows who.

He is a bad pick. Sorry.

Nope. Eddie Large and James Randi are both bad picks.

January - King Abdullah February - Boris Nemchov March - Terry Pratchett April - Percey Sledge May - B.B. King June - Christopher Lee July - Jules Bianchi August - Cilla Black September - Yogi Berra October - Maureen O'Hara November - Helmut Schmidt December - Lemmy

I actually aren't very optimistic about this years list. Max number of hits around 12-13.

I have read this five times and I have absolutely no idea what it means. What he means is that person who has been listed for example position nr 14 has died 14 times in the history of Deathlist.net.

so... Nancy Reagan is going to die in 2016.

Tommy Chong!

How many substitutes did you provide? I only submitted my list yesterday as too many had been dropping dead. I submitted my team today before Howard Davis Jr death. I had 3 subtitutes. Helen Fawkes should take his place, but did Howard Davis Jr die before 31st December or did he die on 31st December? Is there a difference or is it just badly phrased?
